Ervianti D, Widjaja EA, Sedayu A Bamboo diversity of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: Bamboo is one of the important plants in the world. Beside their economic important, bamboo also plays an important role in the environment for climate change. The purpose of this study was to inventory the bamboo diversity in Sulawesi. The methodology used in this study is by observing herbarium specimens kept in the Herbarium Bogoriense (BO) and field experience by the second author (EAW). The result showed that there are 39 species of 12 genera in Sulawesi, i.e. Bambusa blumeana, B. glaucophylla, B. maculata, B. multiplex, B. tuldoides, B. vulgaris, Chloothamnus sp., Dendrocalamus asper, Dinochloa albociliata, D. aopaensis, D. barbata D. cordata, D. erecta, D. hirsuta, D. morowaliensis, D. petasiensis, D. pubiramea, D. truncata, Dinochloa sp.1, Dinochloa sp.2, Dinochloa sp.3, Dinochloa sp.4, Dinochloa sp.5, Dinochloa sp.6, Dinochloa sp.7, Dinochloa sp.8, Dinochloa sp.9, Fimbribambusa sp., Gigantochloa apus, G. atroviolacea, G. atter, Neololeba atra, Phyllostachys aurea, Racemobambos celebica, Schizostachyum brachycladum, S. latifolium, S. lima, Sphaerobambos subtilis, and Thyrsostachys siamensis. Identification keys and descriptions are presented. This data reported will be used as basic information for bamboo conservation and bamboo industry. Keywords: Bamboo, description, diversity, identification key, Sulawesi INTRODUCTION Bamboo is one of the important economic plants for rural people in Indonesia and some others developing countries. Besides these plants is economically important, bamboo is also useful environmentally for preserving the soil erosion, water conservation as well as absorbs greenhouse gases and release oxygen into the atmosphere (Wong 2004; IPCC 2006; Wang et al. 2013; Huang et al. 2014). There are about 1439 species of 116 genera of bamboo grow widely in the world (Clark et al. 2012). Widjaja (2018) reported that Indonesia has 176 species of 24 genera of bamboo. The inventory of Sulawesi bamboos was started by Koorders (1898) when he made inventory list of the flora of North Sulawesi. He mentioned that there were 6 species of bamboo in the North Sulawesi, namely Bambusa blumeana Schult.f., Bambusa lineata Munro var. rhumphiana Kurz, Dendrocalamus sp., Dinochloa cangkoreh Buse, Schizostachyum brachycladum Kurz, and Schizostachyum chiliantum Kurz. He also mentioned there were 12 species could not be identified, but some of them are very closely related to the Javanese bamboo. Then, nobody studies on the bamboo in Sulawesi, although some botanists have collected bamboo specimens from Sulawesi like Eyma, Alston, Kjellberg, etc. Widjaja (1992) mentioned that there were 14 species of bamboo in North Sulawesi. The next inventory was carried out by Lasut (1996) in Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, North Sulawesi. From these regions, there were 9 species of bamboo, namely Bambusa vulgaris Schard. Dinochloa barbata S. Dransf., Dinochloa pubiramea Gamble, Dinochloa sp.2, Dinochloa pussila, Gigantochloa atter (Hassk.) Kurz, Neololeba atra (Lindl.) Widjaja, Schizostachyum brachycladum Kurz (Kurz), and Schizostachyum lima (Blanco) Merr. Based on Widjaja s field work in periods , she published three new species of Dinochloa collected from Sulawesi, namely D. albociliata, D. erecta, and D. truncata (Widjaja 1997). Then, three new species of Dinochloa namely Dinochloa aopaensis, D. morowaliensis, and D. petasiensis (Widjaja 2009). Recently, Ervianti (2015) mentioned that there are 32 species of bamboo in Sulawesi only from the herbarium specimens kept in BO. Liana et al. (2017) found 8 species of bamboo in Selayar Island, South Sulawesi, namely Bambusa blumeana Schult.f., Bambusa maculata Widjaja, Bambusa vulgaris Schard., Bambusa sp.1, Dendrocalamus asper (Schult.) Backer, Gigantochloa atter (Hassk.) Kurz, Schizostachyum brachycladum Kurz (Kurz), and Schizostachyum blumei Nees. The purpose of this study was to inventory the bamboo diversity in Sulawesi, and the description of each species will be presented including the identification key of those species. This study needs to be done to understand the bamboo diversity in Sulawesi, for bamboo identification and also for the bamboo industry that might be developed in Sulawesi. MATERIALS AND METHODS This research was carried by observing 722 bamboo herbarium specimens kept in the Herbarium Bogoriense (BO), Research Center for Biology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Cibinong, West Java from March-June

2 92 B I O D I V E R S I T A S 20 (1): , January Species which are not found in the herbarium specimens but reported by EAW (Elizabeth A. Widjaja) during her field works were included. The herbarium specimens used by Liana et al. (2017) could not be observed because they were kept in the Gadjah Mada University Herbarium, Yogyakarta. However, the identification of Bambusa sp. and Schizostachyum blumei is only based on their pictures and descriptions. Morphological data from all herbarium specimens were collected, and from those data descriptions of each species was made. When the description was completed, followed by identification key based on the genera and the species. The identification of the herbarium specimens was done by using many references, such as Dransfield (1989, 1991, 1996), Widjaja (1987, 1997, 2001a, 2001b, 2005, 2009), Dransfield and Widjaja (1995), and Wong (1995). Beside that, the available type specimens kept in BO and other herbaria which can be accessed through the internet are also used to identify those species. The distribution map of bamboo species and vicinity is also provided based on coordinate point of the specimens using software ArcMap v for Ms. Windows (Bohms et al. 2014). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Based on the study of the herbarium specimens and the field experiences, there are 39 species of bamboo found in Sulawesi from 12 genera. According to Liana et al. (2017), there are a new species of Bambusa sp. (Bulo batti) and Schizostachyum blumei (bulo) in Selayar Island, Sulawesi. The new species is. characterized by the culm is rounded, dark green with brown to black spot when mature and the erect blade. Based on those morphological characters, it is more closely to Bambusa maculata. Another species, S. blumei has never been collected from Sulawesi. Based on the description, it resembles to S. lima, which has a deflexed blade, easily caducous, with incurved auricle, whereas its leaf blade has small auricles (Widjaja 2001). The both latest characters have never found at S. blumei. Most bamboo species are wild status. They grow in the primary or secondary forest, forest margin, and along the river bank in Sulawesi, except for 11 species are cultivated in the garden and near paddy field as ornamental plants or border plants, i.e. Bambusa glaucophylla, Bambusa maculata, Bambusa multiplex, Bambusa tuldoides, Bambusa vulgaris, Dendrocalamus asper, Gigantochloa apus, Gigantochloa atter, Gigantochloa atroviolacea, Phyllostachys aurea, Thyrsostachys siamensis (Sharma 1980). Those cultivated bamboos are mostly introduced species, although some species are not known exactly when they were introduced to Indonesia such as Dendrocalamus asper (probably from Myanmar and South China), Gigantochloa apus (probably from Myanmar), and Gigantochloa atroviolacea. Based on the data collected, it was found that some species grow only in a certain area at Sulawesi. Among 39 species, there are 22 species are endemic to Sulawesi (56.4%), namely Chloothamnus sp.2, Dinochloa albociliata, D. aopaensis, D. barbata, D. cordata, D. erecta, D. hirsuta, D. morowaliensis, D. petasiensis, D. truncata, Dinochloa sp.1, Dinochloa sp.2, Dinochloa sp.4, Dinochloa sp.5, Dinochloa sp.6, Dinochloa sp.7, Dinochloa sp.8, Dinochloa sp.9, Dinochloa sp.10, Fimbribambusa sp., Racemobambos celebica, and Sphaerobambos subtilis. Based on this data, it could be predicted that Sulawesi is the center of Dinochloa diversity in Indonesia, because the number of species is more than other areas.

Notes. The species consists of 3 varieties and the identification key to the variety is shown below. The herbarium specimen kept in BO mostly var. vulgaris and var. vitata (=var. striata). The collection of both varieties are also lacking because mostly both varieties are planted by people in their garden, or in the field as land border. The var. wamin is also cultivated in their gardens as ornamental plant and there is no herbarium specimen except reported by Widjaja (1994). Identification key to the variety of Bambusa vulgaris 1 a. Culm swollen... B.vulgaris var. wamin b. Culm straight a. Culm green and glossy... var. vulgaris b. Culm yellow or yellow with green stripes, not glossy var. vitata Notes. Widjaja & Wong (2016) has published that the Malesian Nastus should be Chloothamnus. This statement is also clarified by Chokthaweepanich (2014) and followed by Wong & Dransfield (2016), Wong et al (2016) that the Malesian Nastus species to be a different major lineage from the African Nastus. Therefore the Malesian taxa can be recognized morphologically as three distinct genera: Chloothamnus Buse, Ruhooglandia S.Dransf. & KM Wong and Widjajachloa KM Wong & S Dransf. In the Plant List website, this genus is still put under the genus Nastus. Chloothamnus sp. (Figure 7a-b) Shoot green covered with white wax. Culm erect on the base and scrambling upward, green, glossy, when the young cover with white wax, and becoming glossy when mature, branches one lateral branch dominant with several smaller branches, the lateral branches long elongated, but when the main culm cut off, the lateral branches as big as the main culm. Culm sheath caducous, blade spreading to deflexed, auricle big, curved outward with long bristle more than 10 mm. Leaves glabrous, linear, leafsheath auricles rounded, curved outward, small, without long bristles. Distribution. Mt. Mekongga, from Tinukari village (Figure 7 C). Habitat. Along the river bank. Notes. This species has been put under the Chloothamnus at the time being, due to peculiar bud character. Further study on this species is needed. Specimens examined.
